I can see us picking him at 3 or 4
I got Leymushunov, Dedimov and Iggy in that order after Cellebrini

Definitely agree, although I'm not sure "higher than expected" is really a thing anymore at this point. Can definitely see him being a big riser on Bob's final list whenever that comes out.

I could see him jumping up as high as 3rd after this performance tbh, I don't think he had such a monster showing in the tourney for a team to take him 2nd considering there are dmen and centers who are probably seen as more valuable due to how close the potential is for all these players, and the fact they play more valuable positions.
As a Flames fan I'd still take Demidov, Catton, and probably Lindstrom over him considering that if I'm the Flames I'm more worried about FWDs, but I could also take Dickinson over him. Here's hoping Flames Celebrini 2024.

Didn’t like this pick. Thought he was way too high for 6. Maybe if you believe he can be a center and it works that I can at least theorize it, but at 6 a winger who lacks plus size, isn’t a plus playmaker, doesn’t have plus hockey sense, and doesn’t have a true elite trait? Hard to understand. Seems like more of a top 20 pick than nearly top 5. I guess we’ll see. I hope his name didn’t factor into the pick, but it’s probably impossible to truly calculate the impact because it might be unconscious bias towards Jarome.

Agree. Never understood why he was getting talked about in a range where you should want a superstar. Hope I’m incorrect.

its because he is good to great at everything.
and definitely a good passer and great hockey sense.
they took him high because they want a shooting oriented matt tkachuk.

6th OA from 2012-2021. So generously a 20% chance of getting a superstar and only 50-60% of getting a really good player.
I don't have an opinion either way on the pick, but 6OA should be a good player--not very likely to be a superstar.

Ofc you don’t always get a star. That’s also a poor way to look at it- im sure the teams that took Zacha and Glass and whatnot would like a redo. It’s not like they’re happy with their picks. Also ignores the stars were drafted 7th, 8th, 9th and so on or discussed as options in that range.
Either way - you are definitely hoping to get core players who can deliver cups (Star players imo) with your top 10 picks. It doesn’t mean it’s an utter failure if you “only” get a solid NHLer, but it doesn’t mean you did great.
